2. International Home Health Services Congress

Home care
services, which are organized intensively and successfully in developed
countries, have been on the agenda of our country for a while. Although our
national values require looking at our adults and our patients, the busy work
time sometimes causes us to have to stay away from this beautiful work. As
such, home care became a necessity. Therefore, The Regulation on Home Care
Services, published in 2005, is an effort of the Ministry of Health to keep the
issue in a legal and specific way.

Our ministry has
also started to provide home health services. Quickly, home health services
units were opened all over the country and the teams started to serve
successfully.

In April, our
associations organized the 1st International Home Health Services Congress with
the support of our Ministry of Health. Although it was the first, there was a
very nice congress in which 1600 people attended, and all sessions were full.

2nd International Home Health Services Congress was held on 14-18 March 2012 in Antalya. The Ministry of Health, universities, World Health Organization, relevant public institutions and organizations, private sector organizations will be contacted, and a rich content was created.

We are expecting all your contributions, suggestions and criticisms about the subject and we are pleased to invite you to the 3rd International Home Health Congress.
